A 12-year-old girl died in a crash in Aurora on Saturday evening involving a stolen vehicle driven by a 15-year-old, police said, and 12 other adults and children in the two vehicles were injured.
Police said there were four people in the Tacoma: a 31-year-old man, a 29-year-old woman, a 3-year-old girl and a 6-month-old girl. All four were taken to an area hospital, and police said the adults suffered life-threatening injuries.
Eight juveniles were inside the Dodge Journey, police said: a 16-year-old boy, a 16-year-old girl, three 15-year-old boys, a 14-year-old girl, a 13-year-old girl and the 12-year-old girl who died. The seven survivors were transported to a hospital “with various injuries, some life-threatening,” police said.
The 15-year-old driver, who was not publicly identified because he is a juvenile, was arrested on an outstanding warrant, police said. Charges related to the crash are pending, police said, and it is believed the 15-year-old driver was impaired and that that was a contributing factor to the crash. The intersection of South Buckley and East Kent was closed for hours Saturday night as police investigated the crash.This story has been updated to correct the number of injuries in this crash. Eleven people were injured.
